Agreed on those points. They need larger reserves and vehicles.

Oh I don't mean that "control the UAV through the Gate for 30 minutes" nonsense. I mean taking a full on portable control centre with them and using the UAV on site. The centre's are big but you could probably split them up in between a few of those Argo's and link them up.

Ah, I see. In that case, I agree completely.

Out of curiosity, what sort of military vehicles would they be able to fit through the gate? I'd say a Humvee could probably fit through, but is there any armoured vehicle that could be deployed?

Depending on how high the ramp is, you could fit a Bradley through the gate - as Tsu says, the limiting factor would be whether you could get it into the gateroom.

Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Well, they lowered the gate in; it weighs 32 tons. A Bradley weighs 30 tons, but really, we don't know the dimensions of the shaft into the gateroom, so there's no way to guess whether you could fit one.

Even one would've given the Jaffa a number of bad days, though.

The Jaffa used a specialised type of Deah Glider with circular wings instead of the standard ones to fit through a gate specically. I guess a more circular IFV could be designed to fit through the gate if you wanted to which would certainly pose a problem for the Jaffa. However, the Staff Weapons might be more accurate and effective against a larger target.
